The Sound of Music

My day in the hills has come to an end, I know it
A star has come out to tell me it's time to go
But deep in the dark green shadows are voices that urge me to stay
So I pause, and I wait, and I listen
For one more sound, for one more lovely thing that the hills might say

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a charm that flies from a church
On a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips, and falls over stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lock who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

I'll sing once more
